Aquarium Technology and Marine Interpretation

Oregon Coast Community College created the nation's first aquarium science associate degree program. The program prepares technicians to care for aquatic animals and aquarium displays. Program curriculum was developed with input from public aquarium personnel and includes two practicum courses and an 11-week internship. OCCC's faculty are featured in "Getting Results", an online professional development resource for adjunct faculty. Modules and materials are available free of charge at the League for Innovation's website (www.league.org).
